We felt this one PERSONALLY on the food truck today! 😂🇵🇷🥶

That fall breeze hit and suddenly the whole crew remembered we are NOT built for this. 😂🍂

Apparently Puerto Rican food tastes even better when you’re making it while questioning why you didn’t bring a heavier jacket. 😂

Who else was FREEZING today?! 👀🥶🇵🇷

It’s getting cold outside… well, Puerto Rican cold anyway. 😂🇵🇷🥶

The temperature hits 69° and suddenly we’re dressed like a blizzard is coming. 😂🍂 Meanwhile everybody else is outside yelling, “Finally, sweater weather!”

Boricuas, what temperature officially becomes TOO COLD for you? 👀😂

🗓 Sat 5pm-9pm @ Trick or Eat (120 E Main St, Garner)

🤣

Forget pumpkin spice… we’re waiting for PASTELES season! 😂🇵🇷🍂

You know it’s getting close when somebody in the family starts asking, “¿Quién está haciendo pasteles este año?” 👀😂

Be honest… how many pasteles are you putting away in ONE sitting? 😂🇵🇷

🌧️ **UPDATE FOR TONIGHT — WE’RE CANCELING** 🌧️

We really wanted to make tonight happen at **The Mason Jar L***r Co.**, but after watching the weather, we’ve made the decision to **cancel The Rican Lab for tonight.**

We were originally planning to serve through the rain, but with the possibility of the weather getting worse, we’d rather make the call now than have everyone come out only for us to have to shut down early.

We hate missing a Saturday night with you guys, but keeping our crew and customers safe comes first. ❤️🇵🇷

Thank you for always supporting us, and we’ll see you again soon! 🐸🇵🇷
